The key to self-discipline is to remove “self” from
the discipline; "disciplined to obedience” is a better phrase. Strive to abide, rest, exercise, eat, relate to others and serve in Jesus' Name and for His
Sake. Don’t research the art of discipline, you will be
overwhelmed. Moment by moment walk,
talk, breathe and live in the Lord, and discipline will be a result rather than a goal; an
effect of the Holy cause of abiding in Him
Do not pray for self-discipline, pray to abide more
consistently in the Lord.
Abiding is a state the
devil can’t disrupt; his strategies only spur you to
abide more closely. Understand that abiding in the Lord is your
best pursuit.
Scripture: "Then he said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it...'" (Luke 9:23-24 NIV).
"If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15:7, KJV).
